Some people become tired of looking at these and sell them at garage sales, and I find some of them, bully for me!
Feeding the chickens


She had asked $30.00, a great buy at that price. It had lived in someone's touch-me-not room. It is pristeen. Now it lives in our family room-turned library. It is very comfortable. The winter knitting chair, now.
I needlepointed the leopard many years ago. I still love it.
Now...the machine knitted cap for #3b. If you remember the flaw...I used it to be the fold up place--very convenient. I had to knit a couple more stripes, since it seemed too small.
Kirtchner stitch makes it look like a tube.
Another view.
And, one more view.
I sewed it along one side and rolled the other side. It did not look quite right until I folded the corners down and stitched them.


Another view.


Last but not least. The back of the pink sweater for #2c. I had to hold it down with something...it is not blocked yet, and it wants to curl up.
Seeing that I have many other UFOs it is difficult to show you all of them. Sometimes I prefer knitting and other times sewing; sometimes crochet, and others embroidery; sometimes wool combing, others spinning.

You will see things while they are WIP and when they are finished.
It has been warmish again--rather it has been humid--over 80% humidity. One of our DD living in an arrid state misses the humidity, here is some humidity, just for you #1! i.e., clingy hair, damp garage floor, mosquitos, fruit flies, mouldy bread--after 2 days, etc., etc., etc.
Fans are going, and the gnats are falling into their trap. [some apple cider vinegar, a little water, and a couple of drops of dish liquid--they are attracted to the vinegar, and the detergent breaks the water tension--gnat gone!]
I'll leave you with this:
